About

Dr Dmitri Popelyuk

consultant psychiatrist in private practice

in London

I am a Consultant Psychiatrist based in Harley Street and provide easy and reliable access to diagnosis, effective treatment and the best patient experience for people suffering from mental health problems.

I studied medicine at Odessa Medical University and trained in psychiatry at the Maudsley and Royal Free Hospitals in London, specialising in general adult psychiatry, rehabilitation psychiatry, personality disorders, psychotherapy and psychosexual medicine.

I believe in the continuity of patient care. Therefore, I provide assessment and treatment in any setting, whether it is at the patient's home, outpatients clinic or in hospital.

With over 15 years of providing care for people with psychiatric conditions, I have the knowledge and experience to treat the full range of mental health conditions in adults.

I offer pharmacogenomic testing to establish patient’s genetic makeup, predict response to treatment and to determine which medication (and which dosage) is the optimal choice.

When appropriate, I can provide other treatments such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). I work closely with other clinicians to ensure continuity of care, making referrals as necessary.

Regardless of the type or the causes of the problem, I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of a disease.

Conditions I commonly treat:

Anxiety and OCD

Depression (including treatment-resistant depression)

Bipolar disorders

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Self-harm and suicidal feelings

Personality disorders

Drug induced psychosis, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder

Alcohol and drug addictions

The majority of sexual problems are caused by a mixture of physical and psychological factors. Therefore, my treatment approach is an integrated treatment programme that combines specialist medical and psychotherapeutic interventions to achieve the best outcomes.

I am an expert in dealing with sexual problems of all degrees of complexity; however, my particular expertise is helping people with complex and enduring sexual difficulties associated with chronic physical and mental health conditions.

for gender issues

Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their biological sex and their perceived gender identity. Whilst biological sex is assigned at birth, gender identity is the gender that a person 'identifies' with or feels themselves to be. A person may therefore express their gender in range of ways - as gender variant, transgender, transsexual, transvestite, genderqueer, androgynous or intersex.

Gender dysphoria is not the same as transvestism or cross-dressing and is not related to sexual orientation. A person can identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or asexual and their sexual orientation can change as treatment and transition progresses.

Sometimes the discomfort or distress caused by this mismatch is so strong that a person feels the need to seek help in order to discuss their feelings and receive diagnosis and support from an experienced professional in this field.

I offer advice and support to people with issues surrounding their gender identity, including:
